And Subversion, and Monotone, and CVS… but no, this is not
implemented. ;-)
The implementation is different from what you suggest: it uses a
<git-checkout> record instead of an <origin>. That performs a checkout
beforehand and uses that as the source.
Closing, but you can open a wishlist item if you want.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
